Patent EP-0694917-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OHBA YOSHIFUMI
IPC: G11B15/68
Filed: 1995-07-07
Abstract: A library apparatus for storage media such as optical disks includes a rotatable cell drum 18 having several columns of cells for the storage media, a load/unload device 22 for inserting and removing cartridges 16 one at a time, at least one drive 36 for reading from or writing to selected media, and an accessor 30 which moves the storage media 16 between the load/unload device 22 and the cell drum 18, and between the cell drum 18 and the drive 36. The load/unload device 22 rotates in a collinear arrangement with the cell drum 18, and can rotate in unison with the cell drum 18, or independently. The collinear arrangement of the cell drum and the load/unload device reduces the overall size of the library. 
     A direct entry/exit (DEE) door 721 exposes several cells in the cell drum 18 when the door is open. The DEE door is provided so that several storage media 730A can be placed in or removed from the cell drum at once, either manually or automatically. The library apparatus automatically rearranges the storage media to fill the cells nearest the drive 36, which reduces the time required to locate storage media in the cell drum and place them in the drive 36. A locking mechanism locks the DEE door when the cell drum rotates, and locks the cell drum when the DEE door is open. Each cell in the cell drum has a skew mounting preventing mechanism and inverse mounting preventing mechanism which prevent incorrect mounting of a cartridge in the cell drum.

Abstract: A power tool (20) includes a modular drive system in which the motor (22) and transmission (24) consist of separate self-contained modular units which can be assembled together by simply sliding and rotating the motor housing (42) and the transmission housing (70) relative to each other. The motor (22) has a D-shaped rotary drive shaft (44) which is inserted into a D-shaped aperture (86) in the drive gear (84) of a planetary gear system (80) contained within the transmission housing (70). Guide pins (92) extending from the transmission housing (70) are inserted into guide holes (94) in the motor housing (42) when the D-shaped drive shaft (44) is inserted into the D-shaped aperture (86) in the drive gear (84) to align the housings (42,70) with each other. A bushing (46) at the front of the motor housing (42) is inserted into a central opening (76) at the rear of the transmission housing (70) to couple the housings (42,70) together.

Abstract: Disclosed is a starter which is simplified in the structure of its pinion rotation regulating mechanism and is down-sized in its entire structure. A pinion regulating member (230) abuts with a pinion (200) and moves the pinion (200) towards a ring gear (100) by the rotation of an output shat (220), while preventing rotation of the pinion (200). When the pinion (200) abuts with the ring gear (100), the pinion regulating member (230) bends and gradually rotates the pinion (200) to mesh with the ring gear (100). By this arrangement and operation, generation of abrasion powder is reduced with reduced number of component parts.

Abstract: Disclosed is a low distortion amplifier circuit (10) of the predistortion type that employs a cuber circuit (14) in the predistortion path to provide optimized signal energy (S2) at third order intermodulation frequencies, which cancels IMD products generated by the main power amplifier (20). The cuber circuit employs a pair of anti-parallel diodes that are biased with at least one D.C. source to produce a D.C. current flow through each diode. The input signal applied to the cuber circuit produces signal current flow in each diode to enable a third order output current (S1) to be extracted. A desired amount of third order power is thereby provided to realize minimal IMD power in the main amplifier output over a wide dynamic range of the input signal. Using a circuit analysis based on a power series approach, circuit parameters of the cuber circuit can be optimized to provide a desired amount of cancellation of third order IMD products in the main amplifier, without generating excessive higher order power, over an optimized dynamic range of the input signal.

Abstract: A single use mold system for joining by welding conductors such as cables or laminate to each other and to other parts such as a rod, laminate or steel frames. The mold includes a refractory body forming a weld chamber. Exothermic welding material in a crucible above forms molten metal which drops into the weld chamber through a tap hole or open top. The mold includes sleeving passages formed by metal guide sleeves extending upwardly at an angle from horizontal to a position above the level of molten metal forming the weld. In this manner, the molten metal is contained within the weld cavity of the mold without packing, adapter sleeves or shims. The guides may extend upwardly at an angle from the weld chamber, or as a V with two symmetrical guides. The guide sleeves in some forms may be in the form of coil springs. The sleeve may also have a flared outer end which seats on and in lateral extensions of the mold facilitating the positioning and retention of the sleeves, as well as the insertion of parts to be welded. The inside diameters of the guides are larger than normal passages and accordingly accommodate a wide variety of cable sizes without interference with or abrasion of the sleeving passages. This enables one mold to accommodate more sizes, avoids the use of packing, adapter sleeves or shims, and maintains the weld chamber well vented. The mold weld chamber may contain an opening which is closed by an object such as the rod, frame or laminate to which the conductors are welded.
